How many serious
athletes follow tight training regimes to keep a competitive edge? And
how many have stopped to think about how they can improve one of the
fundamental aspects of fitness - their breathing?
Exercising and
strengthening the muscles we use to breathe in - the inspiratory muscles
- can help boost performance. New research has shown that training these
muscles can improve all-round fitness and even maximise the effectiveness
of other muscles used in sport.
Using the laboratory-proven POWERbreathe training system of 30 breaths
twice a day, an athlete's strength and endurance will increase rapidly.
POWERbreathe - an easy-to-use, drug-free, hand held device, has a controllable
load for progressive training and is appropriate for athletes in all
types of sports.
Research has
shown that the inspiratory muscles have such a huge task to perform
that they can 'steal' blood from our exercising limbs to supplement
their work (Harms et al., 1998). The effect of this is to limit the
performance of those limb muscles - making exercise feel harder and
impairing performance. New research has now shown that specific inspiratory
muscle training (IMT) improves the efficiency of the inspiratory muscles
(Sharpe & McConnell, 1998), with the consequence that performance
in laboratory controlled trials is improved by almost 30% (Caine &
McConnell, 1998).
Studies have
shown that time trial performance improves in elite rowers (Voliantis
et al., 2001a) and cyclists (Romer et al., 2001a) by as much as 4.6%!
That slashes almost 3 minutes off a 40km cycling time trial, and gives
a winning margin of more than 60m in a 2000m rowing race!


UK Athletics has just recently signed a deal with fitness technology
brand POWERBREATHE that will see every member of the British Team receive
the benefits of this device.
